Text marked as lyrics
Rejoice, rejoice, believers, and let your lights appear! The evening is advancing and darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising and soon he will draw nigh; up, watch in expectation! At midnight comes the cry. The watchers on the mountain proclaim the Bridegroom near; go forth as he approaches, with alleluias clear. The marriage feast is waiting; the gates wide open stand. Arise, O heirs of glory: the Bridegroom is at hand! Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; arise, O Sun so longed for, above this darkened sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, we plead, O Lord, to see the day of earth's redemption that sets your people free!
